My garden is right over the hedge from a local school and every year
for the last 5 years there has been a pair of oystercatchers nest on the roof of the school,they arrive at the begining of february with last years young ones, and spend the next 4 to 5 weeks screaming at the young ones to go away.then once the new eggs are laid they seem to sleep all day and scream and screech all night,and once the young are hatched they have to learn to fly, and thats when it really kick off they take off and the first place to land is my garden shed roof and discover its easyier to fly down than up so it takes a couple of days to get them airborne again.in the meantime i get screamed at and dive bombed everytime i go into the garden.i am sure if they where human they would be served with a ASBO.still i love them to bits and miss them in the winter months when they go back to sea. |
